natural, hand cut Lone Mountain turquoise and silver pendant

I love this natural stone! I decided to cut it extremely high dome style to preserve as much precious turquoise as possible! I evened out the shape to incorporate the natural pitting instead of grinding it all away. Lone Mountain produces a huge array of colors with varying patterns of webbing and is highly sought after by turquoise collectors. The active mine is in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Lone Mountain turquoise is famous for holding its color and vibrancy over time. Sold on an 18” silver ball chain. Everyday jewelry.
